Thanks to the recentv4.4.1 BuddyBoard firmware the http file api works as desired: you can easily upload files to a usb stick attached to the printer. To perform bulk updates of your printer farm it’s much easier to write a simple bash script which deploys the print jobs:
#!/usr/bin/env bashset -e# printer settingsPRINTER_HOST="192.168.1.123"API_KEY="ToEn8eDlR7kWIiUpVPJg"FILENAME=myfile.gcode# capture command stdout - http status code will be written to stdout# progress bar on stderr# http response (json) stored in /tmp/.upload-responseCURL_HTTP_STATUS=$(curl \ --header "X-Api-Key: ${API_KEY}" \ -F "file=@${FILENAME}" \ -F "path=" \ -X POST \ -o /tmp/.upload-response \ --write-out "%{http_code}" \ http://${PRINTER_HOST}/api/files/local)# get resultCURL_EXITCODE=$?CURL_RESPONSE=$(cat /tmp/.upload-response)# success ?if [ ${CURL_EXITCODE} -ne 0 ] || [ "${CURL_HTTP_STATUS}" -ne "201" ]; then echo "error: upload failed (${CURL_HTTP_STATUS})"else echo "upload succeed"fiUploading multiple files and checksums via http can be achieved with cURL and a few lines bash scripting. This might replacescp in most cases.
# array of files (and checksums) provided as cURL optionsUPLOAD_FILES=()# get all files within myUploadDir dir and calculate checksumswhile read -r FILEdo # get sha256 checksum CHECKSUM=$(sha256sum ${FILE} | awk '{print $1}' ) echo $FILE echo $CHECKSUM # extract filename FILENAME=$(basename ${FILE}) # append file and checksum to curl upload args UPLOAD_FILES+=("-F" "file=@${FILE}") UPLOAD_FILES+=("-F" "${FILENAME}=${CHECKSUM}")# get all files within myUploadDirdone <<<$(find myUploadDir/* -type f | sort)# uploadcurl \ -X PUT -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \ "${UPLOAD_FILES[@]}" \ https://httpbin.org/putThe EdgeRouter X-SFP is a quite powerful dualcore (880Mhz, 256MB RAM, 256MB flash) device powered by a MediaTek MT7621AT SoC. OpenWrt 21 (snapshot) comes with support for the SFP slot (attached to the switch port eth5 via RGMII). Note: it won’t work with OpenWrt 19! Custom build# As of April 2021 it requires a custom […]
The MikroTik CRS switches are absolutely awesome! You get a full featured, managed, wire speed switch combined with a SoC running RouterOS.But on the “downside” the configuration can be very complex and requires some deeper knowledge about switching and linux networking in general – as a linux user you will love it ;) Step 1 […]
With the release of the new AMD EPYC based cloud servers (CPX), Hetzner has applied some changes to their virtualization platform (QEMU). The network interface names have changed due to the modern virtio_net network adapter 0x1041 including different pcie bus addresses. All Hetzner standard images are now using the net.ifnames=0 setting to enforce the kernel […]
gnugp is very useful to encrypt files using a public key – this allows you to create backups without sharing a keyfile. But it’s a bit tricky to explicitly use a public-keyfile instead of the global keyring via fingerprint. Directory Structure# This script creates a custom .gnupg directory (gpg home) in the current working directory […]

In case you’re using self-signed x509 certificates you may see this error message within the traefik logs – the solution is quite easy: the first certificate of your combined pem file (ca+intermediate+server) has to be the server certificate!
These days, some cloud hosting environments still didn’t offer dhcp6 services (for example Hetzner Cloud) – therefore it’s impossible to use an automated ipv6 configuration with iPXE. But a static configuration can still be used: File: config.ipxe#
PS1 magic# The default prompt of BusyBox ash shell looks a bit old fashioned . But thanks to nearly full support of the PS1 environment variable you can customize the prompt to match your needs. Customizing the PS1 variable is quite simple: just add /etc/profile which is read automatically by ash when it’s used as […]
